On Sunday, September 23, thousands of theater fans flocked to Shubert Alley for one of the fall season's most beloved events, the annual Broadway Cares Flea Market and Grand Auction. Dozens of stars donated their time to the cause -- which raised $559 810. Here's Tony Award winner Brian Stokes Mitchell, who will perform a benefit concert for The Actors' Fund -- of which he is president -- on October 15 at Carnegie Hall.


















Among the many stars who sat at the market's Celebrity Autograph Table were the peerless Sir Ian McKellen, now performing Shakespeare's King Lear and Chekhov's The Seagull in repertory at BAM.
















McKellen wasn't the only British superstar on hand. Here's Tony Award winner Vanessa Redgrave with her talented siblings, Lynn Redgrave, who will star next year in MCC's Grace, and Corin Redgrave, who will perform a benefit reading of the solo piece Tynan on October 22 for Broadway Cares.














Here's a pair of hot young stars: Michael Arden, who's co-starring in the new FOX TV series The Return of Jezebel James, and Spring Awakening leading lady Lea Michele.





















Michele's Broadway co-star, 2007 Tony Award winner John Gallagher, Jr. is always a favorite with the fans.





















Another Tony winner, Bebe Neuwirth, shared a special moment with singing legend Frankie Valli, whose life story is the subject of the musical smash Jersey Boys.



















Speaking of Tony winners, here are Curtains co-stars Debra Monk and David Hyde Pierce...




















...the fabulous Donna Murphy, soon to be heard on the recording of LoveMusik...





















...and the great Tyne Daly, who spent most of the day at a booth selling (and autographing) her own memorabilia, including a cap from Gypsy.




















Handsome Van Hansis is about to do double duty, continuing his groundbreaking role as gay teen Luke on CBS' As The World Turns and co-starring in the Off-Broadway production of Charles Busch's Die Mommie Die!

















Happily engaged couple Stephanie J. Block and Sebastian Arcelus are about to be spending even more time together, starting October 9. That's when she takes over the role of Elphaba in Broadway's Wicked, in which he plays love interest Fiyero.




















Anthony Rapp is enjoying his return visit to Rent, where he's reprising his original role as filmmaker Mark Cohen.




















Emmy Award winner Bobby Cannavale, who's making his Broadway debut in MTC's Mauritius, left no doubt which baseball team he wants to see in the World Series.




















Funny man Jim. J. Bullock recently rejoined the Broadway company of Hairspray, although this go-round, he's playing Wilbur Turnblad.





















We leave you with this particularly delicious shot of Jersey Boys co-stars J. Robert Spencer and Daniel Reichard, who are about to dig into two ice cream sundaes from nearby Junior's.
